Things will be heating up in theaters this weekend as the next installment in the dance-focused Step Up franchise arrives. Directed by Scott Speer, Step Up: Revolution will take place in Miami and focus on a dance crew looking to se their performance art as a method of protest against a wealthy businessman who plans to develop their neighborhood and displace its residents.

Iíve got a matinee appointment with Batman, Bane and the crew so forgive me if Iím little amped up. But before heading off to the theaters thereís some flicks to cover. This week weíve got the neighborhood watch and some hot-bodded dancers stepping up once again

Can dancing change the world? That's the premise of the fourth installment of the Step Up franchise, Step Up: Revolution. So You Think You Can Dance All Star Kathryn McCormick stars as Emily, a contemporary dancer who moves to Miami with dreams of becoming a professional dancer. There she soon connects with Sean (model Ryan Guzman making his feature film debut), who heads the fleet-footed local dance crew known as The Mob.

The dancing looks killer and completely over-the-top, the acting passable and the dialogue awful-- and it looks like way, way too much fun to ignore. You may not have known you wanted to see guys dancing on top of cars jacked up on hydraulics, but now that you have, aren't you dying to see the whole thing?
